>Llama - A creative outlet is always a win, so go you! Things like basil can't handle any frost so if you're going to sow/plant it already it >has to be in pots you can bring inside on cold nights. Here you can't really plant outside until mid May.

I don't know how to quote two different posts so created my own. The way we are planning on planting so far is to use pots indoors. My sister bought starter kits. Not sure how good they will be, but it's a start.
The problem is that it isn't really all that warm inside. We taped up some holes and windows, but then all the drama started and it's been really rainy so that "dampers" outdoor activities. Indoors, even yesterday while I was cooking in the kitchen, I could see my breath as I breathed out. When I sleep I use a fleece blanket, then a comforter, then another fleece blanket on top of that. I also sleep in my clothes - wool socks, pants or sweats, t-shirt, and hoodie, and / or a sweatshirt. These say it should be about 68F. It's going to be a while before that happens. So the trick is waiting long enough to warm up, but still have time to plant and hopefully harvest.
Again, we don't know much. We're just trying to get something going.
On my projects yesterday:
Pick 3 Lottery. I won on paper again, but last night I went to the store and bought a couple of tickets and while really close again, lost.
Writing - the website was down so I didn't get anything done. I also read that amazon was banning the use of AI for books. don't know if true, but I wasn't planning on using AI to write it anyway. I'm just using it to make the organization process a little easier. I have a blurb of what the book is about. I'm going to flesh it out more today. I also came up with some other ideas. I need to come up with a detailed chapter description. I find this process way better than the actual writing part.
I don't think we get rain today. The high is going to be in the mid 50sF so I should get a walk in or two.
We did change internet providers yesterday and that looks like a success so the other one should be cut off today. I need to pay car insurance.
